Trip was canceled at the last minute.No explanation given. My friend and I were only in Zagreb for a few days and really wanted to see this new museum and visit the castle. This was an expensive tour and we were looking forward to this as part of our travel to Croatia. Trip Advisor needs to do a better job in protecting their travelers who usually have limited time available for tours. When travelers book tours, there should be some guarantee that the tours will take place. This was the second tour that was canceled on our trip to Croatia. Very disappointing
Tour guide, Iva, was absolutely incredible, giving us not only in-depth info on the sites but also pointing out sites, culture, politics, & so much history & information along the way. She is quite knowledgeable & we were never bored. On a 1-5 we give her a 10.
Our tour guide was simply fabulous and never missed a beat! Driver was safe and pleasant and added to our experience as well. We had a wonderful day and really enjoyed this tour.
Excellent day. Iva was fantastic as well our driver Ivan. The tour was well organised and worth every cent.
Beautiful this country, the sea is very clean, the people is very gently… Very beautiful day. Come back every year with my family same tour.
Great Day Spent!! Our tour guide Iva was Awesome and so cool. It was really enjoyable tour and one of the best planned out tours. Totally worth it.
We had a very enjoyable tour of the museum and the castle. Our guide (and driver) was extremely knowledgeable about the museum exhibits and the history of the country in general and the castle in particular. I highly recommend this interesting and informative tour.
We had a such "cultural and historic" blast with our guide Franc. Strongly recommended! It was a very hot day but the beauty of Zagorje, and the castle Trakoscan erased our discomfort! The museum in Krapina that exhibits the evolution and mysterious disappearance of Neandertals was very informative and kids friendly!
Dear 188merid, Thank you so much for your kind review. The fact that despite the hot weather you've had a wonderful cultural and historic experience means we exceeded your expectations. Also, thank you for your kind words about our guide Fran. We hope to see you again sometime and join one of our other tours! Cheers!
Very interesting tour. Our tour guide, Bruno, was very lovely and knowledged. Would highly recommend if you have a few hours to spare when visiting Zagreb.
So Interesting. We loved the Castle we the the ride to castle and the walking tour . It was a great excursion.
